...London stronger than at any time since his Government was formed. Since Premiers cannot camp indefinitely at Conferences, Frenchmen considered that the active leader of their Delegation will be knife-faced, keen-eyed, astute Georges Bonnet, Minister of Finance. To friends he said that the World Conference "with good luck" should achieve its objectives by early September. Continentals last week credited persistent rumors that President Roosevelt does not want any treaties (which the Senate would have to ratify) to be made, prefers that the Conference conclude "agreements"-beginning with "gentlemen's agreements" and working up to the most substantial...
...route to the coast. To spare them selves annoyance they were more cordial than usual to newshawks and cameramen. Said the Colonel: "Well, I think the pictures you've been taking were terrible so I suppose it will be better to pose." At Pitts burgh luck was with the Lindberghs.

Last week he sold one of his candidates for this year's race-a jumper named Slater-to an Englishman. His remaining horse, Dusty Foot, who fell at the third fence last year when...
...star and quite a satisfactory one, too, right up to the last. At this point, ha, ha, that is, were you ever told 1. That the show must go on 2. Laugh, you clown, though your heart is breaking 3. I guess you got me, kid, but good luck and God bless you (coughs gently, dies)? It just seems that no motion picture director can ever pass by a chance to introduce one of these three themes. Bobe and Ruby have a little scene that sort of embodies all three. A really good censor would have...
